Surco 1201 Hauler Basket Carrier Review

Surco 1201 Hauler Basket Carrier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When we bought this, we figured this was going to be a hold-over until we found a good, small trailer. But we keep using it for different journeys where we need a little more 'Boot' space but don't want the trailer. This goes perfect with the "MINI Do More" trailer hitch, which is the type I have on my 2004 MINI Cooper S.

1000# MOTORCYCLE DIRT BIKE CARRIER +RAMP +CARGO BASKET (T-MC-SC1306-B)(BOX1+BOX2) Review

This carrier is definitly rugged, but it wobbles all over the place. There are no assembly instructions, just an exploded view of the unit showing how it is assembled. If you can get through the assembly on your own, you will notice a few items that are weird. First, the nuts an bolts that assemble the tray to the main frame are button head bolts. You need a pretty big screw driver adn a lot of strength to tighten them. I swapped out the lag bolts for hex bolts. I also had to add stabilization straps going from my tow hitch side bars under my SUV to the very ends of the carrier.
If you don't mind the carrier wobbling, then it is a very good carrier. I just wish this carrier was more stable.

Larin LTG-60 Rear Cargo Carrier Review

(More customer reviews)
The Larin Cargo Carrier is just what I needed for my small car, a lighweight platform to carry barrels and other items I don't want or can't fit in the car.
The carrier came with both 2inch and 1-1/4inch load bars, which is much better than using an adapter. The only small catch was that instructions were not entirely clear about how the 2 halves fit together, but once attached the rest of the assembly went perfectly.

Reese Towpower 13600 Poly Cargo Carrier Review

Average Reviews:

I received my shipment promptly, however, all of the necessary hardware was missing, which I purchased locally.
Overall, the carrier serves its intended purpose, but the tray is two -peice and very flimsy, in fact, mine came cracked, and the mounting bracket is quite low quality.
Okay, if you're not looking for a very high quality unit.

Rola 59109 Adventure System with Swing Away Review

Rola 59109 Adventure System with Swing Away
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This particular item is fantastic! Functionality is awesome! The box itself is a little hard to handle by a single person, but can easily be handled by two. For security, go ahead and order the locking hitch pin, for stability reasons, order the hitch tightener, and for legality reasons, go ahead and order the license plate relocation kit with light. Unfortunately, I was awaiting the item for an upcoming trip, and when it arrived, the hardware and swingaway was not part of the shipment. The customer service that I received following that initial call was atrocious, and each process and escalation procedure that was, or wasn't followed needs to be looked at and corrected accordingly. I am in the customer service industry, and was extremely disappointed, not only in the ways that my issue was handled, but the number of times that I was lied to by representitives of the company. If one more persons reads me a script of how they are the supervisor on duty, and that a manager is not available, I'm going to scream, and insist yet AGAIN to speak to someone in the US. Overall a very sad, disappointing customer service experience, and I will make sure that hundreds and potentially thousands of people hear about it.

Masterbuilt HFTB HITCH-HAUL Folding Receiver Bar Review

Masterbuilt HFTB HITCH-HAUL Folding Receiver Bar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I use this folding receiver bar on my motorhome to carry a cargo basket. Unfortunately it is about 3 inches too short to allow my cargo basket to fold up 90 degrees without touching the RV bumper. My RV hitch is slightly recessed under the RV's bumper so when I attempt to fold the cargo basket it touches the bumper at about a 70 degree angle. This folding receiver bar needs to be about 3" to 4" longer. Multiple (2 or more) lock pin holes would also be useful at the end of the bar used to secure the bar to the hitch to adjust the length of the bar protruding out from the hitch for various attachments, such as a cargo basket. Otherwise this is a durable and well built product.

CARPOD Hitch Mounted Cargo Rack M2200 Review

CARPOD Hitch Mounted Cargo Rack M2200
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this carrier to haul more stuff on vacation. This Carpod carrier worked great! The wired mesh side walls are strong and held 4 suitcases and 2 folding loungers inside its cargo area. It held everything securely and made no noise at all for over 1,200 miles. It gave us extra interior space inside our van and I did'nt have to struggle getting suitcases down from a roof carrier. The Carpod is well designed, strongly made and priced right.

HITCH MOUNT CARGO CARRIER WITH WHEEL LUGGAGE CART HAND DOLLY(CARGOCARRIER-"CC-F6020-W"HEEL) Review

HITCH MOUNT CARGO CARRIER WITH WHEEL LUGGAGE CART HAND DOLLY(CARGOCARRIER-CC-F6020-WHEEL)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This cargo-carrier-slash-luggage-cart is awesome! It is very good quality and it is durable. I drove thousands of miles with it in the cold, ice, and snow. The wheels are very good quality and are not flimsy. The size is very generous. I carried a minifridge, tents, 18 gallon plastic tubs, and a 46" TV on it. I also plan to haul some trash to the dump with it, especially since it has wheels.
So here is why I gave it four stars instead of five: The instructions stink! It doesn't tell you how to hitch it to the truck, nor how to install the handle. Luckily, the company I bought it from had some very good pictures and close-ups on how it looks when installed to the hitch. Because this cart can fold up, the hitch mount is in two pieces. You have to switch the pieces to make the different positions. It's not too hard to figure out, but it would have made the process a lot easier if the box came with good instructions. Also, the handle was a pain to figure out. See, the handle is supposed to be able to fold flat. There are a bunch of weird nuts and bolts Ive never seen before that you must use to make the handle work properly. Unfortunately, there were no pictures of that! I had to sit there and try different configurations to get it to work. Im not even sure if its correct, but there doesn't seem to be another way to get everything on AND have the handle work. I think I had one lone nut leftover. But I can't remember. It does work now and I love it.
I have a suggestion for this product. I originally thought I would just need one lock for the hitch. Wrong! If you want to lock this thing completely, you need THREE LOCKS. One for the hitch receiver, one to lock the hitch to the "knuckle", and one to lock the basket to the "knuckle." Just bring the pin they give you to the store and match it up to a lock.
Also, this basket works great on a Jeep Wrangler! WITH the spare tire on, it STILL FOLDS! Awesome! The other thing I like about this product is that you can build around the brake lights so you won't even need to get those external brake lights or whatnot. Of course, if you have that spare tire in the way, you are a bit limited, but if you don't, you can build it up high. The other good thing about this product is that you can haul quite a bit of stuff and not have a trailer. I will emphasize how much better it is to drive WITHOUT a trailer in snow and ice!!!!! I would reckon it makes life easier in the rain too. You know what else is great about not having a trailer? YOU DON'T PAY EXTRA TOLLS FOR THE AXLES ON THE TRAILER!!!
Im telling you, just get it! It is a great product and is the only one like it Ive seen. IT HAS WHEELS! You can use it in the garden, or moving stuff to the garage too! I can't say how many times Ive said "geez I wish I had a cart" and now I do! And you should too. And the price is awesome. You wont be sorry!

I bought this for the wife's Expedition. It fits great and looks great. I found this same item at 5 or 6 different web sites, but it was cheapest here. Shipping was fast, and it only took 20 minutes to put together. I bought the basket with the folding shank, and I am glad I spent the few extra $$. This basket is great for carrying large or dirty items that you do not want inside the vehicle (gas cans, sandy beach chairs, your mother-in-law). Buy one today!
